This was probably the best hotel we have stayed in and we have travelled a lot! Everywhere was spotlessly clean, the staff were efficient, friendly and helpful. We stayed on a bed and breakfast basis so cannot comment on the evening meals, but the breakfasts, which were served until 10.30am, were comprehensive. My husband had cornflakes, toast, bacon and freshly... more

Its not cheap but i believe that you get what you pay for. i wanted luxury for my stay with my girlfriend and... more

Sorry - I like a little nicer hotel. I had been staying down the street at the Guadalpin and it was so much better. This hotel was old and need of a renovation. The room was old and smelled. The bathroom had showers that made my hair flat and horrible. My room looked out on the Med Sea but also... more

This hotel is really beautiful. The rooms are newly decorated, spotlessly clean and comfortable. The corridors are carpeted which cuts down on noise. Mini bar was stocked with tempting goodies. There is adequate sunbathing around the pool areas and a nice outside patio dining/bar area. The location is convenient - a minute from shops and situated practically on the beach.... more

I have been to the El Fuerte 10 times in the last 18 months - long weekends, cheap flights great hotel. I fell in love with the place, the position, the people, the staff, the marvellous room overlooking over the sea and after arriving back after a long leisurely dinner at one of the many local restaurants there was entertainment... more

Just back from a weeks stay at this hotel and i must say (we stayed in the El fuerte Miramar Spa last year) it was a fantastic place to stay, so clean and the staff are first class. I booked directly with the hotel and i got them to organise a taxi pick-up from the airport (which was quite reasonable).... more

We arrived at the El Fuerte after an early morning flight with all my family in tow. Had 4 rooms booked but even though check in wasnt until 2pm the helpful staff on reception gave us one of the rooms so we could store our luggage and freshen up etc. We were a bit dissapointed to be told that there... more

My wife and I have been going to El Fuerte for years, and are even members of their "friends" club. But we've noticed an increasingly hard-nosed attitude from the chain in recent years. First, when you book direct, they stipulate a minimum stay of 3 nights. Then they try to sell you their most expensive room, which you don't want,... more

This hotel appears to be trying to live up to its four star status, but seems to be loosing. Fistly, we should state that we had a excellent room on a top floor water view, but with the worst mattresses we have ever slept on. No turn down service although the front desk did call on our second day to... more

My husband and I have just come back from a few days at this hotel and the only positive thing I can say about it is that the view from our balcony out to sea was lovely. We had lots of problems checking in and after a huge hassle, we were let into a room that was already being used... more
